( West Palm Beach , FL November 14, 2011) “Don’t get mad – get everything!” is the mantra for DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICALThe Hilarious Journey to Hell…and Back! from the producer of the Off-Broadway hit, MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL. Tickets are on sale now for the world premiere at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach . The show runs from January 10th through February 19th, 2012 in the Rinker Playhouse.

 

Whether you are newly divorced, on the brink, or happily remarried, DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL-The Hilarious Journey to Hell…and Back! promises a night of laughter and solidarity for all. The story centers on Linda, who is still reeling from the collapse of her marriage. When all she wants to do is have another bowl of Chubby Hubby ice cream, Linda’s three friends (along with a massage therapist/pizza delivery boy/make-over guru and others) decide to help her move on to a new beginning by throwing her the mother of all divorce parties. Using familiar songs with new lyrics, and coupled with a good dose of comic mayhem (and a touch of “naughty”) the girls cut loose on the realities of divorce, long term relationships and moving on.

 

Broadway and professional theater producer Mark Schwartz (MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL) teamed up with Dr. Amy Botwinick, author of Congratulations on Your Divorce -The Road to Finding Your Happily Ever After to create this riotous new production, which features direction, lyrics and choreography by Jay Falzone (SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL, COOKING WITH THE CALIMARI SISTERS).

“Divorce parties are a growing, global trend,” says Dr. Botwinick, who uses her own divorce experience as a way to help empower other women. “They are an important ritual that helps people move powerfully forward with their lives.”  Co-conceiver/author and producer of DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL, Mark Schwartz saw the theme as a perfect follow-up to the successful MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL, “Finally, another Girls’ Night Out,” says Schwartz. “DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL is the perfect opportunity for friends and adult family members to get together and laugh at a subject that affects nearly everyone.”
